There’s something about the dreaded “third and final season” announcement from Netflix that tends to loom heavy over a series once said third and final season finally drops. Will the show feel rushed because of the streamer-imposed end date? Will it get to close the loop on all of its stories? Will it be worth it? The Christina Applegate/Linda Cardellini two-hander “Dead to Me” obviously had to deal with all of those questions leading into its concluding installment (dropping on Netflix on Nov. 17), but then it also had to deal with the questions that came from real life interfering in its production.
Netflix announced in July 2020 that the series would be ending after Season 3, just a couple of months after Season 2 aired. But because of Covid-19, series production was delayed for a year; then it was delayed even further the following month by Christina Applegate’s multiple sclerosis diagnosis,...

When creator Liz Feldman began writing “Dead to Me,” Netflix’s dark comedy about the undying bond between two polar opposite women, it was an exercise in therapy and healing; the longtime comedic writer-producer — who had experienced yearslong infertility issues and the loss of close friends and relatives to sudden illness — had no intention of making a streaming hit, but the series’ explorations of loss, grief and finding compassion in others resonated, from a global audience to the Television Academy. And in Season 3, more twists and turns abound, as do the triumphs of friendship, depths of despair and swells of hope.
“I wanted to acknowledge the fact that we had all collectively, as a society, been through an insane couple of years,” the Emmy-nominated Feldman told TheWrap of the show’s decision to not outright include a pandemic storyline, “and also give a nod to the fact that it’s...

It’s been two-and-a-half years since the second season of “Dead to Me” dropped on Netflix, and since it was in the middle of 2020, it seems like even longer.

"The Breakfast Club meets Waiting for Godot..." Now that's a funky pitch. But sounds good, kind of? Check out the official trailer for an indie comedy titled 18 to Party, the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Jeff Roda. This originally premiered at the Big Apple Film Festival last year, and also played at the Florida Film Festival this year. It's set in 1984 and takes place outside a small-town nightclub, where a group of 8th graders gather, grappling with a spate of recent suicides, UFO sightings, their absentee parents, and each other. Described by the festival as "a spot-on love letter to Gen X, awkward teenagers, and the transcendent power of friendship." The film stars Alivia Clark, Tanner Flood, Oliver GIfford, James Freedson-Jackson, Nolan Lyons, Sam McCarthy, Ivy Miller, Taylor Richardson, and Erich Schuett. It looks like classical indie filmmaking in a good way - no-budget project with a clever script about a time long gone.

“There’s something I have to confess,” Christina Applegate’s Jen Harding shockingly declares in the climactic final seconds of “It’s Not You, It’s Me,” the penultimate Season 2 episode of Netflix’s comedy “Dead to Me” that Applegate has submitted for Emmy Awards consideration. After scoring a somewhat unexpected nomination last year for her turn as a grief-stricken yet delightfully snarky widow, Applegate returns to the Best Comedy Lead Actress line-up this year to try to win the second Emmy of her career.
“It’s Not You, It’s Me” opens as Jen wakes up next to Ben Wood (James Marsden), feeling shocked and instantly remorseful. After she painstakingly pushes Ben away, Jen channels her vulnerability into strength and defiance, and the episode chronicles her day as Jen takes over a city council meeting after they reject her petition for a new stop sign, has heartfelt conversations with both of her sons,...

It seems that the Dead to Me TV show isn't long for this world. Netflix has announced that the show has been renewed for a third but final season.
A single-camera comedy series, Dead to Me revolves around a hotheaded realtor and widow, Jen (Christina Applegate), who searches for the hit-and-run driver who mowed down her husband.

Earlier today, Netflix announced it had renewed its beloved show Dead To Me for a third and final season. The announcement was made on Twitter and no doubt comes as a pleasant surprise to fans who enjoyed the last season, which released on May 8th.
Starring Christina Applegate alongside Linda Cardellini, Dead to Me is a murder mystery drama whose plot derives tension from the trust issues of its principal characters. And so far, it’s earned nothing but tons of praise from critics and viewers alike.
In the show, Applegate portrays a real estate agent whose life is turned on its head when her husband dies in a hit-and-run car crash. Seeking relief in the form of a support group, she befriends an eccentric member named Judy, whose happy face hides some dark and twisted secrets.

If the first season of Dead To Me revolved around Judy Hale’s (Linda Cardellini) crippling guilt over her responsibility for the death of Jen Harding’s (Christina Applegate) husband, Ted, the season two reverses the roles. Having finally found out the truth, Jen ostracises Judy but when Judy’s awful ex-fiance Steve (James Marsden) turns up at Jen’s house looking for Judy an altercation occurs resulting in Steve’s demise.
It leads to a reconciliation between the two women in a way that suggests some sort of strange balancing out of the universe. Judy accidentally killed Jen’s cheating husband, Jen killed Judy’s terrible ex- in self defence and now they are free and even.
Except they are not. Because Jen didn’t kill Steve in self defense and there’s the matter of a missing persons case surrounding Steve’s disappearance, prompted by his twin brother...

A winding thriller with Grey's Anatomy's emotional sucker punch, Netflix's superbingeable Dead to Me is officially back with a long-anticipated second season. As we keep our fingers crossed for Jen (Christina Applegate) and Judy (Linda Cardellini) to rekindle their complicated friendship, we also have so many questions about what's going to happen next. Season one, after all, ends on a cliffhanger that can really go in any one of multiple directions. As it's been a minute since the series premiered, here's a refresher of the finale, one so dark and twisted that not even Judy can sage away the bad vibes.
How Does Ted's Investigation Go?
The end begins with Judy tearfully confessing that she hit Ted, Jen's husband, with her car and asking Jen what she can do to make things better. Following a beat, Jen tells her she can die. (Yikes.) Things only get bleaker from...

The magic of writer-director Melissa B. Miller Costanzo’s “All These Small Moments” can be found within the intimacy of the scenarios, the authenticity of her earnest characterizations, and the accessibility of the actors’ honest performances. In her deftly polished directorial debut, Costanzo dovetails the primary story about a teen’s coming of age with a secondary story about a marriage tenuously tied together. Though this sweet, subtle, and sentimental work is a smidge too simplistic in narrative design, it wins over any resistance with its quiet refinement and heartrending insight.
It’s a tumultuous time for the Sheffield family — particularly for high-schooler Howie (Brendan Meyer), who’s in a transitional phase, caught between teenage anxieties and the onset of adult ones. His parents, Carla (Molly Ringwald) and Tom (Brian d’Arcy James), have hit a rough patch in their marriage and are on the brink of divorce. They bicker constantly,...

Independent cinema is at its best when it can launch a new star. Whether in front of or behind the camera, making a discovery is a highlight of the medium. In the case of the indie drama All These Small Moments, it serves to showcase a tremendous supporting turn by young Harley Quinn Smith. There’s a lot to like about this film, as it’s one of the few 2019 releases of really high quality, but Smith stands out. She hinted at this talent in her father Kevin Smith’s underrated Yoga Hosers, but this really hammers it home. She’s someone to watch out for. The movie is an indie drama, centered on a young man’s coming of age. For Howie (Brendan Meyer), his entry into adulthood is taking place as his parents (Brian D’Arcy James and Molly Ringwald) are seeing their marriage crumble. Every single day,...
